HENRY BARDSLEY, OF FITOHBURG, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE- HALF TO \VILLIAM BARDSLEY, OF SAME PLACE.

SHUTTLE-BlNDER FOR LOOMS.

Cum

Application filed January 10, 1888. Serial No.260,3'28.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY BARDSLEY, of Fitchburg, in the county of WVorcester, State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shuttle-Binders for Looms,of which the following is a description sufficiently full, clear, and exact to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which said invention appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming partofthisspecification, in which Figure 1 is an isometrical perspective view of an ordinary shuttle-binder; Fig. 2, a top plan view of myimproved shuttle-binder; and Fig. 3, a vertical longitudinal section taken on line as m in Fig. 2.

Like letters and figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures of the drawings.

In ordinary shuttle-binders of this class the pin on which the binder is pivoted orjournaled is inserted in a hole, m, formed in one end of the body, thus rendering it diflicult to attach or detach the binder readily, and also increas ing the cost of construction, the hole having to be drilled after the binder is made. The face of the binder and also the heel around the pin-hole wear away rapidly, and there is no means provided for con'ipensating therefor, or of adjusting the binder to adapt it to shuttles of different sizes.

My invention is designed to obviate these and other objections and difficulties; and to that end I make use of means that will be read ily understood by all conversant with such matters from the following explanation:

ECIPL CATIQN forming part of Letters Fatent No, 385,338, dated July 3, 1888.

(N0 model.)

In the drawings, A represents the body,and B the faceplate.

The body is preferably formed straight, or 40 approximately so, and is provided with an open groove, f, in its heel. 'lhe face-plate is bent or curved outwardly, as shown at 2', and is secured to the body A by bolts to and nuts 2, one end of said plate being so formed and arranged as to extend over and close the groove f, thereby converting the same into a hole for the binder-pin. A set-screw, t, passes transversely through the body A, said screw engaging the plate B and rendering the same adj ustable to adapt the bi nderto shuttles of different sizes.

Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is 1. A shuttle-binder cont n-ising a. body providcd with a groove in its heel for the pivotpin and a curved face plate detach-ably secured to said body, said faceplate extending past said heelgroove for closing it, substantially as described.

2. The combination ofa shuttle-binder body provided with a groove in its heel for the pivot.- pin, a face-plate detachably secured to said body and extending over said groove for closing it, and a set-screw passing through said body in contact with said face-plate for adjusting the latter, substantially as described.
